Backyard Living Space

Episode DSEQ-410

Lann and Christian Briel have lived in their 1950s home for 3 years with kids, Ava, 3 and Jonah 6. They bought their home for its "move in" condition and find it very charming but with their growing family, it's starting to feel a little close. So, they'd like to add a little more "living space" outside and they think adding a $10,000 open-air addition will not only add to their enjoyment-but also to their bottom line. Starting with nothing but a big tree and an overgrown pathway, the Briel's hope to convert the unappealing plot into the perfect backyard bistro. They hope adding square footage in an open-air setting will in turn add equity to their home.
